The term 'virgin' made Callum feel a little awkward.
"Can't you put it in a better way?"
Elspeth was already speechless from the shock. Callum was popular with the women, so she couldn't believe that he was actually a virgin.
"I didn't think you'd be so… chaste."
"Chaste?"
Callum wasn't quite informed about these things, so when he saw her laughing her butt off, he thought it was something negative. He immediately frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just—"
This fact was something she could be more or less happy about.
Elspeth was beaming when she looked at Callum, suddenly feeling that the pain she experienced last night wasn't that unacceptable.
Even though Callum didn't know what she was talking about, she seemed quite happy, so he decided not to ask further about it.
At that thought, he suddenly remembered some scenes from last night, and his gaze gradually deepened.
In his arms, Elspeth could feel something off and her face turned red in an instant. "What are you doing—"
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly sealed, and the rest of her sentence was cut off by him.
"Making babies."
Callum's voice was hoarse and deep, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became heated.
Elspeth didn't even have time to glare at him as she became weak from his kisses.
Damn, this guy is too good at this, she thought.
…
Meanwhile, Yelena had been frequenting the law firm for an entire week.
Every morning, she would pretend like it was an accidental meeting, then try to talk to him.
However, he maintained an impassive expression every time, as if he wasn't interested in her at all. He didn't seem annoyed by her, but he didn't look like he would humor her either.
This disappointed her a little.
Nevertheless, she had always been a persistent person. Seeing him like that, she felt a little desolate, but she perked up soon after and continued hitting on him.
This went on until the morning of the 7th day. When she pretended to bump into him with soy milk and waffles in her hands, Hank finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Can you just stop appearing in front of me?"
Yelena shook her head. "No can do. I like you, so I insist on showing up in front of you."
The bold confession didn't move his heart one bit. Yelena gazed at his cold expression, then she suddenly felt despair.
"You weren't like this before. Why are you as cold as ice now?"
Yelena crouched by the road and took a huge bite of the waffle. Unfortunately, the bite was too huge, so she choked on it.
"I was never obliged to keep humoring you. Did you have the illusion that I would keep being nice to you simply because I was nice to you before?"
His words were extremely cold and distant, and even Yelena was stunned.
"I—"
Because of the waffle in her mouth, Yelena's words were muffled, but the sobs in her throat were also concealed.
"So, if there's nothing important, stop appearing in front of me. I didn't want to tell you off before, but now I'm really annoyed. Thoroughly annoyed."
